    “Under national code for all propane Lp and Natural gas, all meters are to be mounted outside the building with an appropriate shut off valve, for emergencies, prior to the gas line entry into the building.  In the absence of any state or local code enforcement, the national code for installation, testing, and final use of the meter will prevail, including the use of all materials in standards of the NFPA (U.S.) for safe and approved use.”

    Makes sense, in the event of a gas leak, you can shut off the gas without having to go inside a compromised building.

      Here, the outer emergency shutoff valves are outside, usually under the road, but anything else, including the meter and the second emergency shutoff, is in the house, usually in the basement.
